Ontario's police watchdog is investigating the death of a 19-year-old in Niagara Falls Saturday night.

The Special Investigations Unit says Niagara Parks Police were searching for a man in distress around 7 p-m.

They found him in the area of River Road and Hiram Street.

He later jumped over a barrier and fell into the Niagara gorge.
